    Usyk has said he wants Wilder in 2026, who you got?

    Usyk avoids Wilder's right hand and easily scores a decision, maybe even a TKO. I could maybe see Wilder landing in the early rounds (maybe even knocking Usyk down) but he won't be able to really but Usyk down. Overall Usyk out lands, out boxes and sets a pace that will have Wilder gasping for air by the 9th round.
    Usyk by UD or late TKO

    Difficult one. In the past Wilder has most definitely taken it with his opponent selection. But we can't ignore Usyk is also definitely taking the **** on this one.

    I'll go with Usyk, as Wilder was never the #1 guy.

    Yeah, Usyk is the bigger **** taker

    Wilder was KO'd/TKO'd by Fury in 7 at 34, in 11 at 35 and in 5 by Zhang at 38. He's now 40, labouring against an unknown journeyman, not very active, has considered retirement, takes psychedelics for "therapy" and I don't think his head has been in the game since late 2021.

    Given this Usyk should stop him, pretty much whenever he likes. I doubt Usyk cares though and if he wants it to be a sparring session, that's what it will be.

    Usyk deserves to lose for ducking Wardley and cherrypicking the ghost of Wilder

    Wilder looked truly diabolical in his last fight; I'm not even sure it is possible for Wilder to land his customary Hail Mary whilst being outboxed and beaten up anymore. Usyk would surely pummel and stop current Wilder, however I wouldn't begrudge Usyk taking the fight as he has paid his dues and if he wants an easy payday all the power to him.

    The unknown journeyman was the champion of Texas. He wasn't really a journeyman. Hes just not a world level fighter.

    Boxrec has him outside the top 350 active HW's in the world. I'm not sure he'd beat Jake Paul.
